It's really not about the message being controversial. It's all about disallowing Christian messages or messages from Christians. It really doesn't matter that it happens to be Mancow because anything Christian would also be rejected by other secularists. Bottom line is that folks think that the Christian religion must be walled off from the rest of society. They also know that Christians are fair game to pick on and they rarely fight back.

"Why does this matter?"

"Because one of the charges against Mel Gibson and The Passion is that reliance upon the Gospels is typical Christian hillbilly mentality - and yet this is the ... ... precise belief structure --- that created the vast majority of intellectual understanding of the modern world. Fidelity to truth, confidence that our truth is the shadowy outline of a loving Creator, and unprecedented genius which flowed directly from that confidence is the surest evidence serious Christians cannot be dismissed by serious critics as hayseeds or kooks."
